The Value of Residual Volume/Total Lung Capacity as an Indicator for Predicting Postoperative Lung Function in Non-Small Lung Cancer

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most frequently occurring concomitant diseases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is characterized by small airways and the hyperinflation of the lung. Patients with hyperinflated lung tend to have more reserved lung function than conventionally predicted after lung cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to identify other indicators in predicting postoperative lung function after lung resection for lung cancer. Patients with NSC… Show more

“…Lung cancer patients with COPD had preserved postoperative lung functions compared to patients without COPD. Therefore, the RV/TLC value was positively correlated with postoperative lung function [ 23 ]. We found that the RV/TLC value was also influential in predicting postoperative lung function with machine learning models.…”

“…Choosing SBRT instead of surgery is mostly due to clinico-pathological criteria, but a certain amount of patients with NSCLC might be intolerant to surgical resections due to impaired pulmonary function. Possible extensions include pulmonary function tests such as FOT, which provide information about lung capacity and tissue mechanics [36,54]. Measurements of lung function with non-invasive devices (i.e., FOT) in fragile patients with lung cancer would help to determine the functional consequences of irradiating small fields in lungs and establish evidence based criteria for eligibility for SBRT schemes on the basis of lung function.…”

“…A meta-analysis has shown that CT volume and density measures are the preferred method for predicting postoperative FEV 1 [6]. In our previous study [7], we showed that preoperative residual volume (RV)/total lung capacity (TLC) is positively correlated with postoperative lung function. As a result, in addition to the number of segments removed, lung function should also be taken into account because the concurrent respiratory condition affects postoperative lung function.…”
